“How did a foreign crime network get this deep inside Canada - onto our streets, into our immigration system, and even inside our border agency?”
As William F. Buckley Jr. put it ever so eloquently:
“The only way a vampire can enter your home is if you invite him in.”
@elie_mcn@CTVNews Can’t wait until Ford loses & he slithers off into oblivion. He’s toxic. BC had a chance at a super majority with Elliott at the helm & the leadership became a campaign about him. Now we’ll be lucky if she runs next election. Ford is delusional if he thinks he can win federally.
One of the reasons 🇺🇸 put tariffs on 🇨🇦 was illicit drug exports. The MSM pushback was immediate, that 🇨🇦 was only 1% of the 🇺🇸 problem, despite 🇨🇦 only checking 1% of exports.
🕵️@scoopercooper details a recent bust in B.C. of enough fentanyl precursors to kill the entire PLANET. A B.C fentanyl lab, the largest in the world, was shutdown with the FBI's aid.
💊Mexican cartels have adjusted to Trump closing the southern border. Working with the Chinese, they are making pills in Mexico, shipping them to Vancouver and then into the 🇺🇸.
👎When Marc Rubio expressed concern to Mark Carney about 🇨🇦 being a narco hub, it was dismissed. Until real action is taken, we are never getting back to the CUSMA negotiating table.

Dr. Sylvain Charlebois is not speaking from a safe distance. He runs the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University. He hosts Canada's number one rated food podcast. He has keynoted every province in the country.
He keeps saying the things the room is not supposed to say.
Watch the full conversation below.
It’s proof positive that the CUSMA negotiations are tanking when CBC has a guest on who tears apart the entire elbows up narrative.
1⃣It’s not business as usual & waiting Trump out is unwise.
2⃣Jamieson Greer & the 🇺🇸 have been following the rules of global trade in the dispute.
3⃣🇨🇦 used to get a free pass on trade issues for holding up our end on defense & other areas. Our laxness has ended that.
4⃣We need to be able to take insults & do what’s best for 🇨🇦.
5⃣It could get worse at any moment especially since Mexico is willing to provide concessions that 🇨🇦 can’t. “I’m good with a bilateral agreement with 🇲🇽. Canada? Forget about it.” 💥💥
Thomas Pitfield @tompitfield represents the worst of Canadian political nepotism and self-dealing. Born into privilege as the son of Michael Pitfield, a senator and Clerk of the Privy Council, who himself benefited from controversial appointments under Pierre Trudeau, this individual leveraged family connections from the start to embed himself deeply in Liberal Party operations. His childhood friendship with Justin Trudeau opened doors that ordinary Canadians could never access, leading directly to lucrative contracts for his firm, Data Sciences, which funneled taxpayer money from Liberal members of Parliament offices into his personal business empire while he simultaneously ran digital operations for the party. When scrutiny arose, Liberals on the ethics committee shamelessly blocked any investigation, allowing the flow of public funds to continue unchecked and rewarding this pattern with further appointments, including Principal Secretary to Mark Carney and, ultimately, a Senate seat almost exactly five years after the blocked probe. This appointment of a senator's son to the Senate itself exposes the rotten core of patronage politics, where accountability is nonexistent and insiders reward insiders at public expense.
Pitfield bears direct responsibility for concentrating enormous power over voter data and digital strategy in Liberal hands through Data Sciences, which held exclusive deals benefiting his company while his wife, Anna Gainey, served as Liberal Party president. This arrangement created undeniable conflicts, where party resources and taxpayer-funded member budgets enriched the family unit without meaningful oversight. Ethics complaints highlighted the impropriety, yet the commissioner's clearance came only after Liberals obstructed parliamentary examination, and even then, the optics of a prime minister's lifelong friend profiting remain indefensible. Pitfield showed no restraint in accepting these overlapping roles, which prioritized personal and party gain over the public interest, and his involvement extended to international progressive campaigns, raising further questions about foreign influence on Canadian data practices. His tobacco industry ties, as reported, add another layer of ethical compromise for someone so close to government decision-making.
Anna Gainey @annamgainey compounds the family corruption through her own pattern of insider advancement and transparency failures. As a longtime Trudeau loyalist, she rose to Liberal Party president while her husband's firm secured exclusive contracts, creating a blatant husband-and-wife control over party machinery and public funds. Her participation in the Aga Khan island trip with Trudeau directly tied her to one of the most notorious ethics violations in recent Canadian history, where the prime minister accepted improper gifts, yet she faced no consequences. Elected as a member of Parliament in a by-election, she repeatedly delayed or failed to fully disclose assets and conflicts to the Ethics Commissioner despite spousal business interests that demanded immediate transparency. This evasion left Canadians in the dark about potential financial entanglements and reinforced perceptions of elite impunity. Her limited engagement with constituents in her riding drew widespread frustration as she prioritized national Liberal networks over local accountability.
The Pitfield-Gainey duo embodies systemic Liberal rot, where marriage, political appointments, and business interests intertwine without shame. Gainey benefited from a hockey royalty family background and Liberal connections to secure high-profile roles while enabling her husband's data empire to thrive on public and party money. Together, they navigated from the Trudeau-era inner circle to the Carney administration without interruption, accumulating influence that ordinary citizens cannot challenge. Their joint Canada 2020 involvement further entrenched progressive policy networks that funneled opportunities back to the family. No meaningful reforms or separations of roles occurred despite repeated public exposures; instead, they advanced to Senate and cabinet-adjacent positions. This unchecked ascent demonstrates how Liberal insiders evade accountability through majority control of committees and ethics processes that protect their own.
Canadians have every right to demand resignation and full independent audits of all Pitfield-Gainey-linked contracts, payments, and disclosures, given the repeated failures in transparency and the blatant use of public office for private and partisan enrichment. The Senate appointment stands as a final insult, rewarding years of questionable dealings with lifelong taxpayer-funded privilege. Michael Pitfield's own controversial legacy of appointments set the stage, and Thomas and Anna have perpetuated it on a larger scale in the modern era. Their actions erode trust in institutions and exemplify why Canadian politics suffers from accusations of being a closed shop for connected elites. Holding them accountable requires far more than ethics reports that clear on technicalities after obstructions; it demands real consequences to deter future generations of insiders from exploiting the system in identical fashion.
@ctvottawa That’s what boomers care about? Not 200 million for a parking lot to compete with Elon Musk; not a taxpayer funded bailout of multi millionaire Liberal/CCP connected developers; not CUSMA not being renewed. Maybe a tax on their residence? Carney is running out of our money.
@globeandmail This should be the #1 issue for all Canadians under 40. I get that you’re an opinion columnist but can we talk about more than how great the Liberals are at re-election and strategy? How about principles and governance?
Liberals shut down debate over proposed probe into Carney condo 'bailout'.
An 'emergency' meeting was called by the Conservatives on Tuesday to launch an ethics probe into the program, which would see 2,200 unsold condo units in B.C. converted into affordable housing https://t.co/HAGoL0cvi7
@AdamZivo Statesmanship? Carney was elected to get a trade deal with the US, not to fly around signing unenforceable MOU’s. What has he accomplished? Speeches photo op’s and lies. It’s the same governing by opinion polls. Conservatives are so exhausting with the constant shooting inward.
